ST_PointOnSurface always returns one of the vertices of a line.
This means that a two-point line will have the centroid at
one of the ends, which is less then ideal.
When OSM data has areas with overlapping countries, use the country
assignments from the pre-defined country grid for tie-breaking.
If that fails, fall back to the country with the smaller partition
number.
Polygons with rank_address = 0 are only used in search and (rarely)
for reverse lookup. Geometries do not need to be precise for that
because topology does not matter. OSM has some very large polygons
of natural features with sizes of more than 10MB. Simplify these
polygons to keep the database and indexes smaller.
Before postgis 3.4 ST_Project required a geography as input and seemed
to have implicitly converted to geography. Since 3.4 geometry input
is supported but leads to a completely different result.
The fallback country boundaries already contain a sufficiently large
part of the water area, so there is no need to extend the country
assignment even more. Features outside countries should not show a
country in their address.
Instead of requesting the match tokens from the tokenizer
when looking for parent streets/places and address parts,
hand in the saved tokens and ask if they match. This gives
the tokenizer more freedom to decide how name matching
should be done.
Replaces various hand-crafted replacements of varying format with
a single Jinja2 templating mechanism. Allows full access to
configuration if necessary.
